I'm planning on moving an old radiant bathroom heater
(a long horizontal red heating coil)
which looks something like the top ones he
http://www.heatinfrared.co.uk/Bathroom%20Heating.htm

But the wall I want to move it to
is a wooden tongue and groove partition.

Is this likely to heat up and catch fire?

should I put some plywood or pink platerboard or something else
between the heater and the wood?

It *should* be okay, but I think I'd err on the side of caution and
use a piece of asbestolux board. also check clearance to the ceiling.

If you let it shine on the wood close by, it'll damage it, resin will
be drawn out onto the surface. I'd add some pb.
